Egypt and the EU approved EUR 11 million in grants to boost child protection systems, and support local vaccine and medicine production.
The House of Representatives has approved two EU-backed grants totaling EUR 11 million to support child protection systems, and local vaccine and medicine production. The announcement was made by the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation.
The first grant, valued at EUR 8 million, will be allocated to the EU Support for Future Generations programme, aimed at improving national child protection systems. According to Minister Rania Al-Mashat, the funding will help strengthen legal and institutional frameworks to combat child labour and ensure children have access to essential services such as education, healthcare, and nutrition.
